Prehospital trauma and care
9.0 ECTS creditsNursing, 2 ECTS cr, and Medical Science, 7 ECTS cr, are integrated in this course.
Instruction is in the form of lectures, study assignments, seminars, practical exercises and patient simulator training. The course is offered part-time and partly as distance education, partly on campus and in the training area. These components are in some cases concentrated to a number of consecutive days on campus.
Trauma is studied in relation to anatomy, physiology, pathophysiological processes, kinematics, care and treatment. Also treated are assessment of vital parameters in relation to pathophysiological processes, trauma location and the effects of trauma kinematics such as blunt force and penetrating trauma and burns. In relation to prehospital research, students also study methods for literature study and the concept of reliability. Students study and practise freeing trapped patients in the context of road accidents, structured assessment, nursing and medical treatment and the care of trauma patients of all ages in the prehospital context. Injury prevention, primary and secondary medical examination, assessment of vital parameters and maintaining vital functions are also treated.
